Busjack Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 38 minutes ago, Elkmn said: I just did a bit of back of the napkin math, but repurposing the parking lots at Wabash and Van Buren into a yard/maintenance facility would allow for storage of at least 16 8-car trains, which could be an extra 5-6 trains for the Pink, brown and orange lines during rush (if yards are at full capacity). It could also allow trains coming into the loop to end there instead of run back to their terminals near empty, if the CTA wanted that. Plenty of excess capacity at 54th. Other than that, it would have to be the world's most expensive train yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
